The true conch species within the genus Strombus vary in size from fairly small to very large. Several of the larger species such as Strombus giga, the pink conch or queen conch, are economically important as food sources amongst the peoples of the caribbean. Strombus giga is also capable of producing (very rarely) a pink, gem quality pearl.
With a rapid increase in popularity, pink conch pearls are becoming rarer each day to find, driving the price of these to be around the tens of thousands of dollars per karat weight. Pink conch pearls, like diamonds are both measured by their karat weight with the exception that the conch pearl poses a deep fiery appeal or structure as described by many self proclaimed experts. Although the chances of finding one are extremely high, this also adds value to the not so pink, sea grass green and other tones of these rare pearls such as the coastal brown and sunny sandy colored pearls too.
Keep in mind that no matter the size, color or shape of the conch pearl it still posses a significantly high value due to its rarity. 
At Pearls.vg, you will find Queen Conch pearls suitable for the most stunning piece of jewelry to compliment that special occasion or event. In the very near future we will be offering rental pieces for the entertainment industry and for those seeking to make a severe fashion statement.
Each conch pearl is a "one of a kind"
Conch pearls, for the most part are all unique in stucture and appeal, meaning size and color as well. Their high value is mostly due to the fact that these are extremely rare.
Unlike precious stones that are mined from the earth, conch pearls are produced within the Queen conch or scientifically termed as 'Strombus giga' of the warm caribbean waters.
The conch pearl (sometimes referred to simply as the 'pink pearl'), which is found very rarely growing between the mantle and the shell of the queen conch or pink conch,
Strombus gigas, a large sea snail or marine gastropod from the Caribbean Sea.
These pearls, which are often pink in color, are a by-product of the conch fishing industry, and the best of them display a shimmering optical effect related to chatoyance known as 'flame structure' Many gastropods (snails and sea snails, of which the conch is the latter) produce pearls, and those of the Queen Conch, Strombus gigas, have been collectors' items since Victorian times.
Conch pearls come in a range of hues, including white, brown and orange and many intermediate shades, but pink is the color most associated with the conch pearl.
Conch pearls are sometimes referred to simply as 'pink pearls'. In some gemological texts, non-nacreous gastropod pearls used to be referred to as 'calcareous concretions' because they were 'porcellaneous' (i.e. shiny and ceramic-like) in appearance rather than 'nacreous' (i.e. with a pearly luster sometimes known as 'orient').
